Abstract
Oxidative stress is a major contributing factor to high mortality rates associated with several diseases such as sepsis. This condition can be controlled to a certain degree by antioxidants for instance ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This review focuses on the potential treatment of sepsis by ascorbic acid and its effects on the immune cell function.
